every moment that passes has a message but we tend to distort the guide of the moment to the tune of our thinking that it becomes irrelevant..we misinterpret individuality then but we seldom realize..but the message remains the same..we need to go beyond..alas! we seldom go..

The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

FROM 'AN ACT OF WAR' TO 'CYBERVANDALISM': 'KIM' NATION PUTS US 'ON THE JOB'

Now, this is what we call a
punch, a solid punch with return in real time, a move that produces result
quickly.

If the matter is a hotly debated
international issue, involving two countries, who have been historical
opponents, a response, that talks of a
'sort' of resolution, within 24 hours, should be seen as a quick enough result.

That is exactly the situation of
ties between the United States of America and North Korea, the two sworn
enemies of decades, in the context of the escalating tension between the two
nations, two extremes, with 'Sony Hack', the cyber-assault on Sony that forced
the company to pull 'The Interview', a satirical movie on the third supreme
'Kim' of the 'Kim' nation, out of the market as the theatre owners chickened
out.

See the words and the tone of
Barack Obama on December 19: "Imagine if producers and distributors
and others start engaging in self-censorship because they don’t want to offend
the sensibilities of somebody whose sensibilities probably need to be offended.
That’s not what America is about. We’ll respond in a place and time and manner
that we choose. It’s not something that I will announce here today at a press
conference."

The North Korean response was
swift and framed menacingly.

On December 20, The Independent quoted
statement of an official of the North Korean Foreign Ministry that says: “As the United States is spreading
groundless allegations and slandering us, we propose a joint investigation with
it into this incident. We have a way to prove that we have nothing to do with
the case without resorting to torture, as what the CIA does. The US should bear
in mind that it will face serious consequences in case it rejects our proposal
for joint investigation and presses for what it called countermeasures while
finding fault with.”

And see the change after it,
within a day, in just 24 hours. Yesterday, Barack Obama had to come out and
clarify that 'Sony Hack' was not 'an act of war' after John McCain, the next
chief the Senate Armed Services Committee, declared so.

Yesterday, Barack Obama said it
was not an 'act of war'. He termed it a costly act of 'cybervandalism'.
Clearly, he was trying to play around with words saying he was exploring
options to see if North Korea could be put again on the list of nations
sponsoring terrorism but such decisions could not be based on 'just news of the
day'. He said in a CNN interview: "We've got very clear criteria as to
what it means for a state to sponsor terrorism. And we don't make those
judgments just based on the news of the day. We look systematically at what's
been done and based on those facts, we'll make those determinations in the
future."

From 'an act of war' and 'we’ll respond in a place and time and manner
that we choose' to ' we don't make
those judgments just based on the news of the day' - it seems the wind has swiftly
realized its 'northward' course.

Now, it may take time for the US
to review the 'list' for North Korea and even may not happen at all, but, North
Korea has effectively put America on the job.

But even this didn't make the
third supreme 'Kim' happy as the follow-up developments indicated, vocally.
